The Uhlen vineyard is not a single, unified site, but rather an ensemble of geologically distinct zones: The \u003cb\u003eRoth Lay\u003c\/b\u003e represents red, Devonian clay slate—a soil that imparts a different minerality to the Riesling than the blue or brown slate of the neighboring zones. Spontaneous fermentation, aging in large wooden barrels, and extended lees contact—vinification here follows classic principles without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The glass initially reveals citrus zest and ripe yellow pear, followed by quince paste, a hint of white pepper, and a pronounced smoky note. The acidity is dense and sinewy, not aggressive—it runs like a thread through the long, saline finish. The wine often seems closed when young but opens up with age in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/b\u003e from 2026, potential until 2035+\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/b\u003e 12–14 °C\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFood:\u003c\/b\u003e Crayfish with butter, sole on the bone, mature Comté or goat cheese with herbs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heymann-Löwenstein","offers":[{"title":"2020","offer_id":53019815018832,"sku":"VJ0991-2020","price":57.13,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2021","offer_id":53019815051600,"sku":"VJ0991-2021","price":57.13,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/522015_0000_2211_ohneJg.png?v=1779113012","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/winningen-uhlen-roth-lay-riesling-trocken-gg","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
